Zaragoza
Description
Welcome to the city of the three rivers-the Ebro and two of its tributaries, the Huerva and Gallego. Zaragoza is also home to Roman ruins, historic churches, and prime examples of mujedar architecture. This program explores the eclectic Spanish city, guiding students through intriguing sites and landmarks. Examining the sacred Lady of the Pillar statue, the program illuminates the basilica that houses it and also tours La Seo cathedral. Viewers will encounter the city's Roman walls, its central market and famed Principal Theater, and the Aljaferia-a Muslim-built castle that now houses the Aragonian government. Modern locations, such as the Zaragoza-Delicias train station, are explored as well.
